Real Life

I've been away from my blog for a really long time. Its NOT because I forgot about it or because I was tired of writing. I been dealing with something in my life that I thought I would share with you. I suffer from schizophrenia. Which means I hear voices that aren't really there. I hear them 24/7. In my case they mimic my thoughts. Think of it like an annoying echo. Like when little kids copy what you say to bother you. They also comment on anything I do which is usually followed by an insult. And since I hear them 24/7 it feels like I'm being followed. It feels that real.

This is what I've been battling with since I was in highschool. After highschool I was fine but it recently returned. I stopped drawing. I stopped reading. And I stopped writing. But don't worry. I see a therapist once a week and I've been getting better. Slowly but surely. Enough so that I feel well enough to get back into doing the things I like to do.

So now you know. I hope I shed some light on the illness to everyone reading this. If your view of me has changed for the worse then I guess this is where our friendship ends. I'm still the same person you got to know so don't judge me. I guess thats all I have to say. So on to the next...

The Wizards Promise By Cassandra Rose Clarke

After reading all the Harry Potter books and all The Hunger Games books I had trouble finding the next great book to read. That is until now. I went to the library one day browsing through the books, not looking for anything specific, when I found The Wizards Promise. I read the back and it sounded interesting. So I read it and enjoyed it. But here is the problem. I did research on the book. The internet says this book is part of a 2 book series. The 2nd book (if I understood correctly) hasn't been written or published because the publishing company has decided to shutdown. So should I recommend this book if its gonna end in a cliffhanger. If you dont mind a cliffhanger then continue reading.

Like I said, I found this book to be very interesting and enjoyable. Its about a girl named Hanna who wants to become a real wizard. But she is stuck apprenticing for a fisherman. Or so she thinks. As she goes on her first real adventure the truth about her fisherman teacher unravels. All while facing the dangers of The Mist.

I really hope the sequel gets published. Oh well on to the next good book I guess.

Being Puerto Rican

Yesterday was the Puerto Rican Day Parade. On that day we Puerto Ricans show our pride for our island in many different ways. We wave our flags and honk our car horns and blow our whistles. We march around the neighborhood wearing clothes that display the Puerto Rican flag while screaming "BORICUA!!!" at each other. In past years this is how I celebrated. I'm Puerto Rican and I'm proud.

Epic The Movie

I recently got the movie Epic from my older sister who thought I would enjoy it more than her kids. Turns out she was right! This movie was really cool. The story revolves around this girl named MK. She comes home to reconnect with her father who has been studying this mysterious race of creatures living in the forest. Due to dramatic events that unfold rather early in the movie, MK enters this hidden world, chosen to save it from destruction by the hands of evil warriors.

The environment in which the story takes place is a real sight for sore eyes. What may look like a regular flower or dandelion is actually a living creature. Some of these creatures are voiced by celebrities like Beyonce as Queen Tara and Aziz Ansari as the slug. I really enjoyed this movie. I'll end this post with two words. Thanks Sis!
